A polly is someone who thinks that Y2k is no big deal.

-- fatanddumb (fatdumb@nd.happy), January 03, 2000.

polly = pollyanna

one who is too naive and ignorant to believe the Real Deal (that we are being controlled by alien delta rays, who in conjunction with Bill Klinton, handed over control of the US to the United Nations last Saturday at midnight.)

Apparently someone who has a grasp on reality.

Bless you! You don't really want to know. Just stay innocent. And don't ask what GI, DGI, DWGI, TSHTF, BITR, Doomer, Troll, TEOTWAWKI or another unrecognisable term is. You are better off without it! :=) Have a happy new year.

A Polly is someone who didn't spend $100,000 to prepare for TEOTWAWKI. A Polly is someone who kept investing in the stock market, didn't cash in their 401K plan, didn't max out their credit cards, and didn't take second mortgages out on their homes. A Polly is someone who isn't trying to get refunds on their unwanted purchases, and donating boxes of food to food banks. A Polly is someone who didn't run to the hills to hide in their bunker - in other words a Polly is the opposite of a Paul Milne. A Polly is someone whose marriage is still intact and whose having a good time making fun of all the doomers here on TB2000. I think that pretty much sums up what a Polly is.

Wow! I didn't realize that I was a polly, but I guess I am -- all but the part about having fun making fun of doomers.

Deano,

ROTFLMAO

Rasty, your shallow summary reflects what a moron you are.

-- sick (of.pollytrolls@tb2000.com), January 03, 2000.

A polly is a parrot that talks to much and yet speaks the truth.

-- Y2K Hoax (rice@beans.com), January 03, 2000.

Pollys are what they made lamp shades out of in Nazi Germany.

-- Truth Hurts (The@truth.com), January 03, 2000.

Truth- LOL!

To me a Polly is one of the idiots that come here with nothing to contribute to anyone. The only reason they have for living is to act like an asshole. Making fun of 'Doomers' and disrupting the board.

If the Pollies were really as intelligent as they pretend they wouldn't bother. Or they would find better ways to spend their time.

But, they are more like the obnoxious kid in the neighborhood that sets cats on fire and poisons dogs. Low-lifes all the way.

Welcome, Eileen, to one of the least boring sites on earth, IMHO (In My Humble Opinion). Here's a link to a thread that explains many of the terms and abbreviations that are commonly used on this forum. I found it under the "Older Threads" category of "Y2K for Newcomers." (This and other categories may be found near the bottom of the "New Questions" page.)

Deciphering the jargon: troll, OT, TEOTWAWKI, etc.

-- David L (bumpkin@dnet.net), January 03, 2000.

BTW- you also showed up for the unannounced "Polly Dance"

which involves poking people with sticks and telling people how to live their lives and behaving like 6th graders in a locker room with a bunch of wet towels.

(snap, snap OWWW! Ha HA!)

-- plonk! (realaddress@hotmail.com), January 03, 2000.

Dang Rasty,

According to your rant, that would make me a polly... Can you imagine a dog with feathers? Have a hell of a time trying to back out of somewhere if I had feathers...

It is interesting you put together a list like that... I bet less than 5% of the posters on this board have HALF of that crap you typed, or did any of that other asinine stuff.

Just proves how much you ACTUALLY know about people on this board.

Eileen, welcome, a little late wouldn't you say?

Oh by the way, I cannot reach any of my supplier companies today. they are either on vacation or their computers are down. Of course I am not going to tell you where I work, because I like working here. So, it is strictly my opinion now isn't it?

The fat lady hasn't even made it to the stadium yet; hell, she is still in her bathrobe...

scratchin'...
